I'm 54 and I'm still willing to try to go with your music. I think if I listen more of your Music, maybe I can break the border

VAT in the Netherlands is usually 6% or 21%.
I'm pretty sure OG is not a basic human need and thus has a 21% VAT.
That makes his age 46 + (46 * 0.21) = 55.66 (at least in the Netherlands)

"Nashville is the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee."
"Nashville Pussy is an American rock & roll band from Atlanta, Georgia."
One of their albums is named "From Hell to Texas".
It seems like they have no idea where they're coming from, so it must be 'Murican!
Their music is a bit too soft for my tastes.
Although I can't deny I've listened to them from time to time

I have been watching with interest over the last week at the continuing rise in Bitcoin and other leading digital currencies.
It was only a few days ago that it had crossed the 2000 usd mark, and today has seen continued rise and is currently sitting around the $2700 and basically double where it was on a few weeks ago.
Of course there is also a lot of interest in Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple, the later I had never heard of until only a couple of days ago. I remember I had mined some Dogecoin back in 2014, and it has sat in a backed up wallet, back then it was worth 25 USD and now is apparently valued at 340 or something like that.
When you start digging around and looking at various financial analysts making statements of 10K USD by the end of the year, to 1M USD in the next 5 years once the currency stabilises, which have to wonder if this is all going to end in tears.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but when I think back to when I contemplated buying at 600usd, and then again at 1300usd...is it time to take a punt or not!
Anybody here been stashing and forgot about them? Or anyone else following what's going on?

A bit ago, some websites advertised with getting BC if you visited them (something like 0.0000x BC). No idea where they went.

It will if you already spend that money before you have it.
..although the valuation might sound rediculous, 2400$ would have sounded equally rediculous a bit ago. The amount of BC does not grow much, while the demand for it has a lot room left to grow. If demand grows while production does not increase, prices will rise more. Given the fact that the alternatives are "fiat" (which is targetted to loose 2% of value each year), demand might grow rather quick in the times to come.

If you're going to do it, stick to spare change.
Be wary of contemporary predictions, according to nearly every finance guru UK was supposed to wither away to nothing when it brexited - seems to be doing quite well in a positice direction. USA was supposed to become a smoking crater within days if Trump took office, also didn't happen.
The top financial/news reporters and acclaimed talk show hosts so pissed off about being wrong again and again even they are making increasingly ludicrous sh*t up to prove they are still worth watching/reading. (Even that overrated dickhead Michael Moore is going down that road - yeah he did predict the win but predicted disaster to immediately follow ... WRONG!) Colbert, Oliver et al: useless turds that should have been sent home years ago.
sorry to get soapbox-y, just a warning that more-so lately more than half of the "well informed news" (not just internet fake-news but the supposed real-source stuff too) has been very wrong.
Once more, tread carefully, make sure loosing wont matter.

Of course it is! The trick is to make sure they're not your tears 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I "have" a bitcoin from back when it was worth nothing, but I lost the wallet so that coin is lost in the void.

When would you define something to be in a "bubble"?
It's not like you see BitCoins everywhere, with people dumping bonds and stocks to "get into" BitCoin.

I don't care but it should be stable to be a real currency else what's the point. This is a vehicle for spruikers.

No, it doesn't. Even in fiat-currencies there are swings and speculators.
Few centuries ago, the Spanish flooded the silver and gold markets. That made the value go down wildly, but did not make it any less of a currency.
Most people would prefer to hold their "value" in a currency that has room to grow in value, when compared to a currency that is debased by choice.

«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

I would cheer it on.
1 - Online Extortion relies heavily on this type of currency. They'd suddenly be broke.
2 - If they did extortion with real currency it could be traced and we could boil them in oil.
3 - If they cashed in their bitcoin, the appearance of real money would be traceable (and taxable).
So, when I hear that flushing sound I'll be quite pleased.

Because ransomware did not exist before the introduction of the BitCoin?

No, thanks to banks a lot of electronic fiat cannot be traced. Which reminds me, I got a donation to your name in the value of a million dollar. You just need to transfer 3000 dollar in administration fees

There's nothing to cash in - BC is cash*.
